It's nice when that happens, a similar thing happened to me the other day, 5 Rovers in a line. The funny or sad thing is, would the French, Germans, Italians, Japanese or Americans be having a conversation like this?JLD said:

Usually I leave for school after my wife has set off but I follow the same route and pass her school on my way.
This morning I caught her up so there was her yellow ZR being followed by my red ZS.
As we rounded a corner there was the ZT waiting to turn and follow me.
There we were, in line astearn with no other cars on that stretch of road,
Yellow ZR, Red ZS, Blue ZT.
The looks on the faces of people who saw us was priceless although I'm sure that some people thought it was a set up by the local dealer.
Talk about a happy coincidence.
Scunny as you call it is the surprise of the world, if you asked people, who hadn't been to both, which is best, S****horpe or Gainsborough? most would think the latter because of the name, I know that Scunny seems an OK place.JLD said:Jim
I think that this may be a different ZT, it has a YF51 reg - Hull, I think that it was bought from Welptons in Hull.
I think that there is another one in Gainsborough, saw it parked on a driveway near a friends house - severe back end damage. Looked like someone had hit it from behind!
My ZS (and her ZR) were supplied by Dixons in Scunny.

If we go back to the 60's you only ever saw British cars on our roads, whereas today that just isn't the case.Rover-GSi said:
I would be amazed to see a line of Spykers or Carvers tho.
They're both dutch, look gorgeous but ya don't see them that often.

Will have to meet up sometime (Waddo) where the streets and closes are named after Australian cities and towns. Oh dear, I might have upset someone by using this local text/vocabulary.JLD said:Went to Lincoln today, no sign of Jim or his 'barge' (the office was closed).
John - must have been after 3pm. At 3.30 pm I was giving the barge a shampoo and rinse. You can't miss the R75. White gold with "W" plate. Has an MG logo sticker in the back window! Yes, the poor thing doesn't know if it's a Rover or a ZT!
Called to see friends in Gainsborough, the ZT near them has been fully repaired, don't know where but it was supplied by Wrights (probably Lincoln as they shut the Gainsborough branch just over 2 years ago)
